In the UK here we have Marks and Spencer (M&S) stores which are noted for their good quality foodstuffs .... aha not the delicious smelling (food technology I reckon) burgers a few months ago, i don't eat much red meat but occasionally... when i broke apart the cooked item it glistened with little tiny cubes of ground-up gristle .. like diamonds.

It went in the bin (tho smeeled good) and a letter written to their HQ.

Actually thinking abt yr dissection, i read of the term 'connective tissue' a couple of years ago and think a lot of that gets into the grinder for all this crap and of course anyone thats worked in such a processing/ sausage factory never eats that product !

To realise what haggis is composed of (ie trad scottish) is quite revolting and if you were to lay the pre-chopped items out on the bench vegetarianism would be immediate.
